Super easy honey dijon chicken simply baked in a pan with a tasty homemade honey dijon sauce that is flavorful and perfect for a quick weeknight meal.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari or omit for gluten-free)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)
  • 2–3 sprigs of rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, dijon mustard, whole grain dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the honey dijon sauce over the chicken.
  4. Add chicken broth to the dish to keep the sauce from burning and to create extra sauce for serving.
  5. Tuck rosemary sprigs around the chicken.
  6. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Baste chicken with sauce halfway through cooking if desired.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle extra sauce over chicken and sides.

Notes

This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. Using chicken broth in the sauce prevents burning and keeps the chicken moist. You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier result.
